CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- The Taoranju Digital Technology 5G Fast and Fresh Food Factory officially began operations in the Chongqing High-tech Zone on November 2, marking a significant milestone as the city's very first 5G-enabled food production facility.

Once fully operational, the factory will have the capacity to produce an impressive 100,000 portions of packed lunch, sushi, rice balls, Chinese pastries, and other fresh food items daily. This output translates to an annual production value of approximately 800 million yuan.

The initiative to modernize the traditional catering industry with advanced technology began in 2020 when Taoranju Group partnered with Lawson Group to develop a cutting-edge 5G fast and fresh food R&D and production base in the Chongqing High-tech Zone. The ambitious project, with a total investment of 300 million yuan, is being executed in three phases. To date, 150 million yuan has been invested in completing the initial phase.
